We are cowards

The trouble with humanity is cowardice. We are cowards. We knowingly do wrong or witness wrong without acting and rationalise it afterwards.

We are afraid of death, so we accept religions which promise eternal life. Religions offer many ways to erase the guilt of doing wrong, especially when the wrong helps the religion flourish.

We see wrong being done and do not speak up. We walk by and think, "I have a family," or, "It's none of my business."
It is your business. If you don't speak up for other's rights, you will lose your own rights.
And would you want your children to know you saw something wrong and did nothing, or that you saw something wrong and helped?
What lessons will you teach your children?

When you see wrong being done to someone, speak up. Act. Get help.
Because wrongness is growing. It is being spread by religions, by special interest groups, and it is not being resisted by the only force capable of stopping it, which is not governments, churches, or businesses... it is you and I, the people who witness wrongs and turn our backs.

Because we are cowards.
